The temptation to say "That's not a rose: This is a rose!" was just too great so apologies for such a cliché , apologies to Crocodile Dundee and apologies to anybody else who wants one.
The flower is small. Perhaps 50mm across:
478308478309478310478311
This is the base of the stem

and this is the rose bush that resides in our back yard.
478313
A couple more shots. It towers above a shipping container with a gable roof on top.
478314
And has completely enveloped an old water tank stand. The stand itself would be 2.4m high.
478315
The underside showing a little dead wood.
478316
I don't know anything about the variety other than it is a climbing rose and has clearly been there for a long time. Much longer than the twelve years we have been at this address. I estimate it is a bout 3.6m high and we take no notice of it at all in terms of watering or fertilising. We just trim off the branches that hang down and threaten to snag our clothes , skin and eyes as we walk past. It is a haven for a multitude of, mainly, small birds.
